Hello! My Name is Dulik Kohomange.
Welcome to HSE.ca!
Thank you very much for visiting this website. I am the creator of HowToStudyForExams.ca.
Why I created this website?
I created this website to help professionals and students study for exams without stress, anxiety or worry.
I am creating a powerful collection of tips, strategies and systems to help people learn effectively and pass exams.
My Story
Now, let me tell you a bit about my story and how I created this website.
I attended University of Toronto and double-majored in Psychology and Health Studies.
While attending, I realized that I would be doing my bachelors degree only once, and decided to put all I got to get the highest grades possible.
I studied hard but got mediocre grades in first year and second year. I couldn't figure out why I couldn't improve my grades no matter how much I studied.
Since nothing worked. I decided to do 2 things.
1. I decided that I will start by studying with topics I enjoy studying
2. I asked successful students and professors how they studied for courses and exams
When I started looking for successful students, I couldn't find one right away. There aren't many around. When I did find one of them, I found a whole group. They seem to congregate together.
I also started asking professors what they would do to get an “A” in the course.
After I talked to them, I realized that I was prioritizing the wrong activities to learn the material. I realized they have very specific processes and systems on how they got things done.
Some of them do it naturally, others do it deliberately. Either way, it worked for them.
The Study Checklist & System
I created a list of effective study tips, techniques and strategies they were using and applying. I started to apply the ones I can.
I immediately started to experience a difference and felt studying to be easy and more enjoyable. I applied some more.
I started to get good results on my midterms and final exams.
I decided that I need more practice and a way to keep track of the key activities I was completing. I created a repeatable system using spreadsheets.
This is when I started to get amazing results. I was able to get into the honors list twice with an average GPA of 3.90 and graduated with High Distinction.
After I graduated, I was able to pass 6 professional certifications using these techniques and advance my career fairly rapidly.
This is when I decided to teach other people about the program. They fell hesitant at first because for many, studying and exams triggers feelings of anxiety and stress. I reminded them my techniques will provide them with a step-by-step system to alleviate the confusion and stress caused by exams.
Those who followed the advice got amazing results. They encouraged me to share the advice with the world.
Now I am teaching the world how to learn effectively and study for exams using this website.
The day I got into the honors list. Thank you mom and dad!
